Disgusting, pitiful, miserable and yet masterful insight of the working class Paris in the 19th century. Anyone who has ever been drunk will be ashamed within oneself to read Zola's portrayal of drunkeness and excesses. Unputdownable and inspires pity for the central characters, Gervais and Lantier.

Superbe roman, l'écriture d'Emile est toujours aussi fluide, mais cette fois teintee d'argot du parler parisien de l'époque. Bienvenue dans la misere ouvriere de Paris au temps du Second Empire. L'histoire de Gervaise Maquart, de ses amours, Lantier et Coupeau, la jeunesse de Nana, et au coin de la rue, l'Assomoir, bar à eaux de vie. Jusqu'ou tombera donc Gervaise ?

Il n'y a que Gervaise qui vaut le coup à mon avis.

All the Zola's books are a bit horryfing, but this one is the most depressive and disgusting Zola's book I've read... while reading some parts I was even wishing the book to end finally :D but I have to say that it's impressive :) I hope I'll manage to read it again, in French, one day...
